Event-triggered bipartite consensus for multi-agent systems associated with signed graphs

In this paper, event-triggered control of multi-agent systems is investigated under interaction networks associated with signed graphs. For the structurally balanced signed graphs, event-triggered control input with the triggering condition of each agent is constructed to achieve the bipartite consensus of multi agent systems. Both the control input and the triggering condition are based on local information and sampled states of neighboring agents. No continuous communication between neighbors is required so as to reduce the communication utilization. Finally, simulations arc shown to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed theoretical results.
